Background: HPWREN is the High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network, implemented using commercial wireless equipment and housed on several mountaintops around southern California USA.

A recent news item from them has some impressive images that you folks may find interesting. You'll need a high-performance web browser/viewer and network connection to get the most from it. - Brian
